Nice cannulation strategy helpful to avoid aortic hematomas during #TANRP
Check out our article on innominate artery cannulation for #TANRP! Strong work by 1st year ECMO fellow Lizzy Bashian

Nice take on the recent expansion of the donor pool for all organs
While there has been a recent increase in the number of organ donors, the uptick has been unable to match the growing need for transplant organs. New techniques to recover, preserve, and rehabilitate organs can help close the gap between supply and demand. brnw.ch/21wJ0Kb

A Contemporary Analysis of DCD Transplantation in the US! Out now in @amjtransplant
1st Cost Comparison of NRP vs Ex-Situ NMP!
"By conservative estimates, we found that approximately 31 donor allografts could be procured using DCD-NRP for the cost equivalent of one allograft procured via DCD-SRR with ex-situ NMP."
Here's what we talk about and why this sets the standards for future studies in this space. A🧵

A fascinating look at the finances of procurement methods . . .
🚨 Fresh off the press: Our pioneering study compares costs and yields of NRP vs. Ex-Situ NMP in DCD Organ Transplants 🫀🫁. A first study of its kind!

Amazing. In contrast, Putin would be most afraid of his own soldiers in Ukraine! Dictators always end up being more afraid of their own people than of any supposed enemies, and with good reason. xitter.cf/ChristopherJM/status/1…
Very impressive ECMO case series here at Vanderbilt. @MatthewBacchet1 @AshShahMD @VUMCTransplant @VUMC_ECMO – at Nashville, TN

From our group . . . How we do it “DCD procurement using the NRP technique.” @AshShahMD
This video is a "how we do it" style demonstration of how the authors procure hearts from donors after circulatory death using normothermic regional perfusion.

Spot on editorial about “The Inconvenient Ventricle” The phrase was coined by Dr Stevenson and as usual she is right. @AVR_MVR @menachem_j From @jaccjournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… – at Nashville, TN
